Estimated cooking time: 1 hour and 20 minutes

Ingredients:
½ cup of thick coconut milk
1 cup rice flour
1cup of sugar
½ cup of cornstarch
3 tablespoon sweet corn kernel
4 cups fresh coconut milk or water
½ cup grated coconut meat (optional)

Directions:

3. In a medium-sized saucepan, blend rice flour, sugar, cornstarch, sweet corn kernels and fresh coconut milk or water.

5. Pour hot mixture into prepared dish and allow to set. Sprinkle the “latik” over the set mixture. Let it cool before slicing.
6. If rice flour isn’t available, soak 2 cups of rice in 2 cups of water overnight. When soft, grind in blender until smooth.
